The project site has an irregular shape, bordered by a mountain on the east, a provincial road on the west, and the access ramp to the Huyu Expressway on the south. A high-voltage power line runs through the site.
Based on the existing site conditions, and in response to functional requirements and the client's needs, the design strategy is optimized to minimize excavation and maximize overall economic efficiency.
Pastoral Rhapsody:By abstracting the contour lines of local terraced fields in eastern Chongqing and integrating the staggered spatial composition of traditional hillside dwellings, a unique linear architectural cluster is formed. The design draws upon regional imagery and spatial culture, resulting in a distinctive architectural form rooted in local identity.
By abstracting and transforming traditional pitched roof forms, the design generates perse and flexible interior spaces through roof deformation and composition. This approach not only responds to the complexity of functional requirements, but also shapes a spatial identity rich in regional cultural character.
The architecture draws inspiration from the terraced landform and integrates rooftop photovoltaic systems, responding to the natural characteristics of the site while achieving the dual goals of ecological sustainability and renewable energy utilization.
The trading shed area is composed of multiple standardized modular units, with a structural design that emphasizes modularity, allowing for easy disassembly and flexible reconfiguration. This modular approach not only facilitates rapid assembly and dismantling to accommodate varying scales and functional requirements but also significantly enhances the project's adaptability and sustainable development potential.
